AREA HISTORY

Eastern Idaho’s transformation from remote wilderness to America’s premier outdoor recreation destination began with Yellowstone National Park’s establishment in 1872. As word spread of the park’s wonders, enterprising settlers recognized the region’s potential as a gateway to geysers, wildlife, and pristine landscapes. The Union Pacific Railroad’s arrival in 1906, establishing Ashton as a key stop, opened the “back door” to Yellowstone for adventurous travelers seeking a quieter route than the crowded south entrance. Local ranchers and outfitters began welcoming guests, combining working ranch life with wilderness adventure. Today, this heritage continues as the region balances its agricultural roots with world-class recreation, attracting visitors who seek both authentic Western experiences and gateway access to America’s first national park.
